Messiaen: Turangalîla-Symphonie (CD)
$25.99
A sonic masterpiece unfolds as Andris Nelsons and the Boston Symphony Orchestra join forces with Yuja Wang for a stunning rendition of Olivier Messiaen’s Turangalîla-Symphonie. This stunning recording, produced by the BSO’s legendary audio team, celebrates the 75th anniversary of the work’s premiere in 1949. Most notably, it was originally commissioned by the orchestra itself via their pioneering music director, Serge Koussevitsky. When performed in concert, the Boston Globe remarked: “An exuberant ‘Turangalîla’ from the Boston Symphony Orchestra. If it were a movie, it would be ‘Everything Everywhere All at Once’; a colorful sensory overload and emotional labyrinth, with a center of irrepressible joy”.
